The Cottage is an unusually light, newly refurbished stone cottage tucked away in a quiet, secluded corner of the village, yet only yards from the edge of the river and the lovely thatched C18th Shipwrights Arms pub. It's just a 3-minutes walk to Helford Point with its stunning river views and where a small ferry takes foot passengers across the Helford River.
From the charming and private enclosed patio, the front door opens into the large living/dining room featuring beamed ceilings, a stone fireplace with wood-burner, oak floor, and comfy sofa and chairs. There is a flatscreen smart TV, DVD player and a cupboard full of board games.
From the dining area, with its rustic wooden kitchen table, you enter the bespoke shaker-style kitchen in blue and ivory. This features a Falcon electric range cooker, microwave and dishwasher, a slate floor with under-floor heating, and a breakfast bar overlooking Helford creek. There is a utility room next to the kitchen, perfect for storing coats and muddy boots, with a Belfast sink, freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, and second fridge.
Upstairs is a lovely duck-egg blue family bathroom with bath and overhead shower. There is a small double bedroom with beautiful river views, a spacious master bedroom with generous 6’ bed, and a nautically-themed bunk-room with full-length 2’6” wide beds and small selection of toys in the under-bed storage drawers. Please note that the master bedroom is accessed via the bunk-room.
Outside there is a sheltered patio that is a real sun-trap in the morning and early afternoon, complete with outdoor dining table and chairs, perfect for enjoying a sunny al fresco breakfast or lunch. Off the patio, in the outhouse, there is a second loo and basin, with hanging space for wetsuits or wet towels. There is also an outside hot water shower, ideal for rinsing off sandy feet and wetsuits after a day on the beach.
Private parking for two cars is 50 yards up the lane from The Cottage.
The property also comes with its own all-tide mooring at Potter’s pontoon, 3-minutes walk away, available for use by guests with their own boat for an extra charge.
